Sounds like I'm lucky

Post by jimdaddy7 » Sun Mar 24, 2013 1:20 pm

In reading alot of posts I have come to the realization that I am alot luckier than some on here. My AHI is around 2.6-3.0, mostly central even though I wasn't diagnosed with CA- another study this week to find out why. I deal with leaks like most others using a nasal mask -95% is less than 25- FFM seems to increase the CA, but lowers the leak rate. But some people still have high #'s and seem to struggle with the whole CPAP "thing". Thank you to all who have been doing this for awhile and are willing to help and give advice to those of us that really don't know what we are doing. If you are like me you had a referral to do a sleep study and a recommendation was sent back to your Dr. who is not a "sleep" Dr. so he wrote you a script and sent you on your way. It is then up to you to figure things out (pretty crappy if you ask me). Any way, I think I am lucky and- Thanks again
